Bacon, Mushroom and Pepper Jack Cheese Omelet image

This is my version of the BMP Omelet that is served at our local Shari's Restaurant. I tapered it down to just 2 eggs for an individual serving, since their 3-egg omelet is a little too filling for me. And sometimes I omit the bacon pieces, and it's just as good. I don't really measure the filling ingredients, but rather just toss in whatever amount I want at the time. But I had to list specific quantities to post this recipe, which are rough estimates. So feel free to adjust the quantities of each ingredient to suit your taste preferences. The system would not accept "Pepper Jack Cheese" as an ingredient (no matter what I did, it changed that ingredient to Monterey Jack cheese). But Pepper Jack really is the variety of Monterey cheese you will want to use in order to get that peppery zing that is the focal point of this omelet. So I had to write that ingredient as cheese, then specify it to be grated Pepper Jack.

Time 10m

Yield 1 omelet, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon low-fat milk
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 strip bacon, cooked and crumbled into pieces
2 button mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 ounces cheese, Pepper Jack, grated (more or less, to suit)
1 tablespoon black olives, sliced
1/2 green onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Lightly spray 8-inch skillet with no-stick spray. Heat skillet over medium heat.
  • In a bowl beat together eggs, milk, salt and pepper until frothy. Pour into heated skillet.
  • Cook, uncovered, without stirring for about 4 minutes and eggs start to set. As eggs start to set, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet and lift eggs slightly so the uncooked portion can flow underneath.
  • When eggs are almost set, sprinkle the crumbled bacon pieces, sliced mushrooms and Pepper Jack cheese down the center of the omelet; let cook another 1 to 2 minutes, or until eggs are set throughout and the cheese is just starting to melt.
  • Fold the omelet in thirds by folding one side of the omelet over the filling, and then folding the other side over the first side.
  • Transfer the omelet to a plate. Garnish the top of the omelet with sliced black olives and green onion slices.

This omelet was a great way to use up some leftover rice. I added it to the omelet along with the bacon and mushrooms, and it was a delicious addition.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from this omelet. It was still very tasty, and I would definitely make it again.

I added some chopped green bell pepper to this omelet, and it was a great addition. It added a bit of extra flavor and crunch.

This omelet was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less butter or oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of pepper jack cheese, so I used cheddar instead. The omelet was still delicious, but I think I would have liked it better with pepper jack.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my omelet didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This omelet was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some additional seasonings next time.

This omelet was easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of cheddar and pepper jack cheese, and it was the perfect amount of cheesy. The bacon and mushrooms added a lot of flavor, and the overall texture was fluffy and light.

I made this omelet for breakfast this morning, and it was delicious! The cheese was melted and gooey, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This omelet was a hit with my family! The bacon and mushrooms added a savory flavor, and the pepper jack cheese gave it a nice kick. I will definitely be making this again.
